A limited number of reservations may be available on the first day of your cruise. Please check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app when you are on board the ship for availability.

Keep in mind that Character Experiences are subject to change. Because space is extremely limited, Guests may hold only one reservation per ticketed event per cruise. Additional Character Experiences that do not require a reservation are available throughout your cruise.
